Atlus has announced that its prepping for another world even in Demon’s Souls. This time, instead of just changing the World Tendency to a White Solstice or Black Halloween, it’s allowing you to decide if Valentine’s will be bright and cheery in the game, or as black as your heart.

Amazon’s listing Demon’s Souls for a Best release in Japan on February 25. The new SKU’s to cost ￥3,230, discounted down from ￥3,800. Nothing official, obviously, but a nice nod to an apparently excellent game. We say “apparently” because our US copy still hasn’t arrived. Not good, yo. Thanks, JPS.

Sony has Twitter teased the masses today with what appears to be a surprise of sorts for Demon’s Souls players. Here’s the tweet: Heroes of Boletaria, take heart: rumor has it the Old One’s power will falter in the days following the winter solstice #demonssouls The only thing we can figure out, same with Cinemablend, […]

Demon’s Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki has told Game Informer that the game’s difficulty was designed so that players would feel “a sense of accomplishment” regarding the collection of souls. “If the Souls could be recovered anytime, there would be no suspense or sense of accomplishment,” he said. “[We want players to feel] like, ‘I can’t […]

Those who play Demon’s Souls online will be in for a treat this Halloween, with what apparently sounds like a bit of a hard quest. We’ll let the PR explain it to you. “Early reports from the Kingdom of Boletaria indicate that the Old One’s power grows,” announced Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales […]

No one owns Demon’s Souls yet. No one. The game doesn’t release for another few days. Procurring an early copy is impossible. Even if you’re the President. But, hypothetically, if you’ve somehow managed to weasel your way into a copy of Demon’s Souls before its release date, Atlus would like you to know that the […]

Some new Demon’s Souls screens popped up on the internet today. Some are new at any rate. The PS3 exclusive is expected to land on shelves October 6 in the US. So far, it’s still an import for the UK, but it sure looks worth it despite the scariness of those fire breathing bee thingies. […]

Atlus has detailed the preorder swag a bit more for the Standard and Deluxe versions of Demon’s Souls over on the US PS Blog. All preorders come with a full-color, 40-page art book featuring sketches, designs, and renders that show off the game’s “gritty medieval aesthetic” along with the soundtrack.

Drop dead gorgeous shots of Demon’s Souls are up over on IGN. There’s dragons, a giant moth, fiery pits with maniacal flying beetle things and loads of other neat, scary stuff. Atlus just announced it for North America yesterday. Here’s hoping a European date is not far behind.

Siliconera’s reporting that PS3 RPG Demon’s Souls is voice-acted in English, so you’ll be able to play it despite the fact it’ll never get out of Japan. The From Software game’s out of stock at Play-Asia at the moment, but we’re sure you could find it if you were enterprising. Eurogamer posted loads of new […]

From’s put out the first proper screens of Demon’s Souls: get them from the official site. The PS3 RPG was unveiled in the last issue of Famitsu and will be seen running for the first time at TGS later this month. Looks funky. Hit this for more detail.

1UP’s posted some translated text from this week’s Famitsu which gives a fair amount of detail on From Software’s PS3 RPG Demon’s Soul, which was announced this morning. “I am a fan of From Software, but naturally that also means there are parts of their games I’m not satisfied with, too,” SCE Japan producer Takeshi […]
